VET Offering –Health
Overview
There are two VET offerings in the field of Health and Physical Education
• Certificate III in Health Support Services / Certificate III in Community Services
VET offerings and ATAR
The calculation of an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) will be based on a student’s:
• best five General subject results or
• best results in a combination of four General subject results plus an Applied subject result or a
Certificate III or higher VET qualification.
This does not prevent a student from studying a Certificate I or Certificate II qualification, just that
it does not contribute towards an ATAR calculation.
CERTIFICATE II in HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES – Yr 11 (11HLT23215)
CERTIFICATE III in HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES – Yr 12 (12HLT23215)
